Did you know that elephants are pregnant for almost 2 years??  22 months for a normal gestation.  Crazy!!!!

    Isn't that amazing? No wonder they are such bonded mothers.

    Don't they have the longest gestation out of all the mammals? 

    I'm glad people aren't like that, though.  If I ever do get pregnant for keeps, 9 months will be plenty long enough for me to worry about every little thing!

    Seriously, 22 months of that kind of worry would be torture.

    That's an awfully long time.  It makes sense that elephants support each other so much through a loss.

    Dude, by hte time any of us manage to have a baby, we'll have been pregnant for way longer than that, just not consecutively :) Or maybe :(

    I agree completely!  I couldn't handle worrying that long.

    Craziness.  Though at times in the TTCAL process I felt like I had been pregnant for two years if you added up the time pregnant and TTCAL hyped up on hormones and acting pregnant for two weeks a month.

    WOW, I cannot imagine having to do have that stress for 22 months.  I am just hoping to make it nine months at some point.

    Wow. I think 9 months of anxiety and nervousness is enough for me!
